The latest version of MultiScatter includes several MultiPainter bug fixes.

MultiPainter can arrange objects on the surface using a virtual paintbrush.
This does not create additional geometries which therefore simplifies the process of working with large arrays of objects.

• Placement can be done both on one and multiple surfaces at the same time. Multiple objects of different types can be scattered simultaneously.
• MultiPainter includes most current types of randomizations available for MultiScatter objects.
• Once created MultiPainter objects can be modified in several ways, including changing their location, scale, rotation, as well as creating copies.
• Animated objects are also supported. In addition it is possible to convert MultiScatter objects into MultiPainter with few restrictions.
• MultiPainter objects are fully compatible with V-Ray and Mental Ray.

Main differences of MultiScatter in comparison to VRayScatter

MultiScatter includes all VRayScatter features such as:

• Regular and random scattering of objects over any surface or along a spline.
• Unique control system for regular scattering with UVW coordinates.
• Full control including randomization of all transformations and scattering by masks or values.
• Control of scattering area by splines and full control of transformations of objects along the border.
• Collision control inside the single MultiScatter object or between multiple.
• Scattering control relative to the camera.
• Animation of parameters as well as scattering of animated objects.
• Special textures for randomization and control of object color and creation of complex masks.
• MultiScatter integrates these and many other features, and was created from scratch, allowing us to bring working with arrays to a new level.

The following additional features were added:

• Support for Mental Ray (including MProxy).
• Any geometry can be used for scattering (e.g VRayScatter can only use VrayProxy).
• Unlimited number of different objects within one MultiScatter.
• Probability texture allows clustering distribution of objects, controlling size of a cluster and density of its borders.
• Multi-core processing support at all stages of workflow including viewport render.
• Any object from the current scene can be chosen for scattering.
• Materials, properties, transformations and animations remain interactively linked between objects within MultiScatter and all related objects within the scene.
• Help Pictures will help new users to navigate through the interface; this can be switched on/off.
• Revolutionized Viewport mode Points allows viewing of the objects’ geometry regardless of complexity and the quantity of objects in a scene.
• Optionally MultiScatter can show wire color or diffused color of objects’ materials.
• Collisions inside a MultiScatter can be seen in a viewport.
• A MultiScatter object can be converted into single geometry as well as copied across instances. This allows using MultiScatter as a modeling tool and other rendering engines can be used other than V-Ray and Mental Ray.
• MultiScatter utility allows the control of huge numbers of MultiScatter objects.
• MultiPainter object. This tool gives full control for object placement with a brush.
• And many other new features.
